AWP | Black Nile (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The AWP's black body, brass trim and topographic linework are still the main recognisable features in this grade. In Well-Worn the scuffs spread from the edges onto larger surfaces and the brass loses its uniform tone. The dark base hides much of the damage, so the skin keeps a rugged but coherent look.

Item type: sniper rifle. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver and the stock are covered in a near-black finish with flowing contour lines in a slightly lighter bronze-grey tone, like grooves on a relief map. The long barrel is kept plain dark olive with a thin brass band, ending in a brass-coloured muzzle collar.

Wear moves from the edges onto the flat sides of the stock and receiver, breaking up parts of the contour pattern. The brass collar, scope ring and barrel band show clear patches where the finish is gone. In game the rifle looks visibly used, though the dark base keeps it from looking messy. The middle of the barrel holds up best.

Stickers and crafts

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the brass trim and stock edges change most between low and high values.
• Look at the muzzle collar, scope ring and thumbhole rim on the inspect screen, as these show wear first.
• Souvenir copies exist, so check whether the item carries souvenir stickers and whether they fit the dark finish.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag, because they affect how the restrained look reads.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget-minded players who still want the overall dark look intact.
• Fans of a used, lived-in rifle appearance.
• An inexpensive way to own this finish with visible character.
